MARIO TESTINO

Patricia Low Contemporary, Gstaad presented an exhibition of selected works by Mario Testino, curated by Simon de Pury, bringing together photographs from Testino's ongoing A Beautiful World series alongside a focused selection of iconic fashion images.

The exhibition centred on photographs made in Switzerland, where Testino photographed regional traditions, ceremonial dress and expressions of collective identity through his distinctive photographic language. Presented as part of A Beautiful World, the works considered clothing not as fashion alone, but as memory, ritual, heritage and cultural continuity.

Curated by Simon de Pury, the exhibition placed these Swiss works in dialogue with a selection of Testino's seminal fashion photographs, revealing the continuity of his gaze across fashion photography, portraiture and cultural traditions. Together, the works reflected a practice that has shaped contemporary visual culture for more than four decades while continuing to evolve through observation, travel and human connection.

The exhibition marked the Swiss première of Testino's A Beautiful World photographs made in Switzerland, bringing the work into direct proximity with the landscapes, traditions and communities in which they were created
